The smell of ozone curled through the air
in the dingy backstreet shop. Three customers peered
through the shadows at the long wooden table where
a brightly dressed young man sat. He had a small cap
atop his head, and around his neck, he wore a pair of
thick, glass goggles.
“Excuse me.” The first speaker was a dwarf
by the name of Halgar; he had a ginger beard and a
close cropped hairstyle. A few braids hung from the
side of his chin and ended in golden beads. “We are
looking for Falrazar, the wizard of,” he hesitated on
this word, “tailoring?”
“That would be me,” the young man answered,
and gave the three of them a beaming smile. “But
don’t let these youthful good looks fool you. I am, in
fact, around three hundred and thirty two years of
age.”
Zira, a human wizard dressed in a flowing
set of crimson robes, gave the youth a suspicious look
before she rolled her eyes. “If you say so,” she said, her
tones dripping with sarcasm.
Morten, the burly one of the group, clapped
his hand on Zira’s shoulder from behind and sniffed
the air. “Well, I don’t care if you’re twenty, thirty, or
even three hundred and thirty two, my friend – we
have coin, we have need of your services, and I believe
you.”
“Thank you,” Falrazar gave a tiny nod and
folded an elongated piece of cloth into a small box. “It’s
so nice to see at least one or two people have a sense of
proper decorum and manners, not like a certain dark
eyed, dark haired, crimson robed woman hiding at
the back there.”
Zira stepped a pace forwards and brought
her staff down with a thump. “I am not hiding,” she
snorted.
“Pardon, but did you hear something?”
Falrazar said and looked myopically through the
dense air. “I thought I heard an annoying buzz.”
“That’s enough,” Halgar grumbled and put
his hand on his hip. “Let’s just get what we want and
be gone from this shop. The smell’s making my beard
itch and my nose twitch – not to mention my hands
jittery.”
2
“I have cream for that,” Falrazar chuckled
softly and shook his head. “Now what can I do for
you?” he fixed Morten with a beady gaze and topped
it off with a bright-toothed smile.
“Tales in the tavern,” Morten began, but he
was swiftly cut off by Falrazar.
“Nice little bit of alliteration that,” Falrazar
smiled again. “Or should that be ale-it-eration?” He
began to laugh.
Zira winced, and Halgar buried his face in
his hands.
“Can I go on?”
“Be my guest,” Falrazar grinned again and caught the
warrior’s confused look. “Regale me.”
“People in the tavern have said that you’re
a wizard that can work wonders with all kinds of
cloth,” Morten was having second thoughts about
coming here already. “We were wondering what kind
of wares you might have?”
“I still maintain that he’s a charlatan,” Zira
said flatly and fixed Falrazar with a knowing smile.
He promptly ignored her smile and blinked.
He had been called a few things in his time,
some of them he remembered and some of them he
didn’t care to. There were a few choice things that he’d
chosen to change the meaning of, but mostly he’d been
able to eke out a modest living with his talents for
making clothing and enchanting it.
“A charlatan, eh,” Falrazar opened one of his
boxes and poured out some of the cloth inside. He laid
it down and picked a small piece up with a pair of
wooden tongs.
“What’s with the pincers?” Halgar asked, and
shot his stubby finger out to grasp the cloth. It was
black as midnight and had a few tiny stars sewn into
the surface.
“Don’t touch,” Falrazar’s warning came too
late and he smiled inwardly.
With a sudden bright flash of lightning,
Halgar was picked up from the floor and blasted
back a good few feet. A blue bolt of actinic electricity
crackled from the square of cloth and fizzled around
him. It caused the same ozone smell they had first
encountered upon entering this bizarre little shop.
“Spark cloth,” Falrazar explained, with a
gleam in his eye. “Very effective if you make a robe
out of it. Unless your enemy happens to be using an
insulated weapon,” he added with a grin.
The dwarf rose from behind another table,
his hair and beard smoking with a soft whisper of
white and grey. “Marvellous!”
“I’ll order a robe right now.” Zira smirked,
and added, “It will keep the pickpockets out of my
pockets.”
“I see,” said Falrazar. “But you thought I was
a charlatan?”
“I’m allowed to change my mind,” Zira
harrumphed. “You have a problem with that?”
“Not at all,” Falrazar waggled his brows and
adopted a business-like tone. “So do you want to see
my wares?”
“Aye,” they said in unison.
ARANEA SILK: Aranea silk is the fine thread
with which the aranea builds its nest as well as the
cocoons of its young. Extremely soft, aranea silk is
an especially strong fabric of an almost pure white
shade. It takes three times as long for dyes to have
any effect on the material, but once mixed with a
color, aranea silk becomes brilliant with countless
fine, silvery spots that dot the surface of the fabric.
These form a star-like effect when light shines upon
it, but the material is unremarkable in a shadowy
environment. Created by elven clothiers of olden
times, rich noblemen and women who can afford
clothes fashioned with such a fancy and rare fabric
favor aranea silk. Because it is extremely hard to
find and takes a long time to color, aranea silk costs
ten times as much as regular silk. It is also ten times
stronger, so a garment made with this material does
not rip easily.
ARANEAWEAVE: Eighty percent of this rare
fabric is made up of the strands of web produced
by an aranea, which are then mixed with flax to
make the material more malleable. In its natural
form, araneaweave is of a dull pale gray shade,
3
but the fabric responds well to most types of dyes.
However, it takes three times as long for a coloring
solution to work on a piece of araneaweave than it
would normally take on more mundane materials.
A patient clothier, however, is well rewarded; once
a piece of araneaweave is dyed, its color never dulls.
Moreover, because of an unnatural alchemical
substance found within aranea web, this fabric
produces countless scintillating spots when it is
mixed with any color. Though this is subtle and
can only be seen when light is shed upon the fabric,
the effect is nonetheless remarkable. Araneaweave
was once a prized item fashioned by the ancient
elf tribes who lived in temperate forests, but today
very few clothiers know how to make this material.
Those who do well reward adventurers brave
enough to collect stands of aranea webbing.
BARGHIDE: The thin and malleable skin of the
barghest was once a prized item. In the barbaric
tribes of olden times, warriors who defeated such
a creature were greatly honored and many of their
peers considered them among the boldest and
strongest heroes of their days. While few humanoid
tribes of the time had dealings with barghests, those
who did viewed these creatures — which caused
great harm to their people — as agents of maligned
spirits. Warriors who defeated them cleaned the
carcasses and wore their pelts with pride. Barghide,
as the material came to be known, is the specially
treated skin of a barghest. Once treated with
alchemical liquid, the material is surprising thin
but sturdy, and as supple as silk. Of a silvery gray
shade, barghide is easy to work with, and many
barbarians who make clothes fashion vests, shirts,
coats, and cloaks with the material. Most pieces of
clothing fabricated with this material display tufts
of the creature’s fur, especially around the neckline,
the wrists, and the ankles. Barghest fur is the same
coloration as cleaned barghide, and the material is
especially soft to the touch.
BEHIR SILK: Although this fabric has nothing
to do with the cocoons of silkworms, it is as soft,
light, and beautiful as regular silk — perhaps even
more so. What is known as behir silk is actually a
fine layer of skin that can be peeled off the carcass
of a behir. This special skin, situated under the
creature’s scales and covering most of the thick hide
that protects its underside, is easily malleable. Of a
dark blue shade that sometimes verges on purple,
behir silk cannot be dyed, but several pieces of it
can be sewn together to create silk-like garments of
unsurpassed quality. Because it is extremely rare,
behir silk costs ten times as much as regular silk.
Many nobles, as well as adventurers who defeat a
behir, proudly wear clothes made from this fabric.
GIRALLON WOOL: A rare type of fabric,
girallon wool is taken from the large, albino gorilla
of the same name. While the thick, fluffy, and curly
hair of this beast seems coarse, it is actually quite
soft. Of high quality, girallon wool is one of the
rare types of wool highly regarded by the nobility.
In some circles, it is even considered a very exotic
type of fabric that one should wear only for special
events. While similar to wool in appearance,
girallon wool is of a pearly white shade. The fabric
never becomes yellow, and its color never fades with
time. The material is also easy to wash and highly
durable, thus requiring minimal care. However, the
strange hair of the girallon also makes the material
impossible to dye, so clothes made from girallon
wool are always white. Mostly, trousers and long
sleeved shirts are made of this fabric, and some rich
adventures are known to wear cloaks made from
white girallon wool.
HORSEWEAVE: In olden times, barbarians
calling themselves horse lords dominated the great
plains of the world. These brutal and warring
people revered their mounts and believed that the
spirits of horses were purer than those of humanoid
kind. When a horse died, they paid tribute to the
noble steed in an elaborate funeral rite. During
this rite, they collected the horse’s mane to create
horseweave, in honor of the deceased beast. Made
from strands of horse mane woven together and
treated in a simple alchemical solution, horseweave
is a strong but very coarse material. The ancient
horse lords used the material to create vestments,
sacks, and blankets. Although extremely rare, some
tribes still fashion this type of cloth.
4
SPIDER SILK: Made from web strands of various
types of ordinary spiders, spider silk is rougher than
mundane silk. It is also more difficult to work with,
requiring the use of several alchemical compounds
and solutions to create. Once fabricated, however,
spider silk is a fine, semi-transparent, but also
highly resistant material that can be easily cut and
knitted to create various clothes. Shawls, skirts,
and capes of elaborate designs are often made from
spider silk, since this high quality, semi-transparent
material is as resistant as normal silk. Spider silk
is uncommon and costs twice as much as regular
silk.
WAR CLOTH: The dwarves of olden days had
strange, incomprehensible customs that would
shock most of their modern compatriots. One of
those traditions was to collect long strands of beard
from fallen comrades to produce a strong material.
Woven together and then soaked in a simple
alchemical formula, these dwarven beard strands
were transformed into a unique fibrous material.
Supple and as easy to work with as cotton, a
garment maker could produce any type of clothing
with war cloth. These garments were worn by the
members of the nobility, who strongly believed that
war cloth would provide them with the physical
and spiritual strengths of the dwarves whose beards
were used to make the fabric. Though the tradition
of collecting dwarven beard strands is a thing of
the past, some sages still believe that war cloth had
some kind of magical property.
ABOLETH CLOTH: The aquatic aberration
known as the aboleth secretes thick, viscous mucus
that turns into a fibrous material when mixed with
certain alchemical products. Although the process
of making aboleth cloth is relatively simple,
gathering the substance needed to produce it is
quite complex and requires one to venture close
to the lair of such a creature. Because of this, and
also because of its magical properties, aboleth cloth
is extremely rare and quite expensive. Through of material. Because of its vegetal nature and the

EARTHSWAEG: All those who journey through
caves and other natural stone formations prize
this uncommon dwarven fabric. This thick cloth
is woven with threads of what appears to be
crushed rocks, held together with stands of dark
earth. Earthswaeg is of a dark gray coloration,
but changes hues as soon as it is placed within 5
feet of a natural rock formation, such as a large
boulder, a cavern wall, or rocky ground. In
such circumstances, earthswaeg subtly changes
color to match that of the rock formation, thus
becoming paler, browner, beiger, or redder. While
not as perfect as a chameleon’s skin, earthswaeg
nevertheless imitates the various patterns of the
rock it mimics, thus giving the impression that it
is made from the same material. Anyone wearing
a vest, tunic, cloak, or similar garment in full view
benefits from a +2 bonus on Hide checks made in
natural, rocky surroundings.

ICE WORM SILK: The little known ice worm,
which lives in the coldest regions of the planet,
produces fine threads with which it weaves cocoons
for its young. This material is as strong as typical
silk, but its bluish-white tint cannot be dyed. Ice
worm silk is attractive and much sought after in
some parts of the world. When a piece of clothing
is fashioned from ice worm silk, the wearer gains
a +1 bonus on any check or save made to resist
cold environmental conditions or hazards, such as

HAGHAIR CLOTH: About one hundred years
ago, an adventuring band eliminated several coveys
of hags that had been plaguing the area around
6
which they lived for decades. It took the heroes
several years to eliminate most of the hags and
drive away the few that had survived their attacks,
but they nevertheless succeeded in their task. They
also collected a grisly tribute in the form of their
victims’ hair. They later sold the strands of hair to a
local witch, who soaked them in alchemical liquids.
The result was a fibrous material that could easily
be woven into clothing. The fabric, however, is
still imbued with a portion of the hags’ evil spirits.
When worn in full view, a vestment of haghair
bestows a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks.

LEAF CLOTH: A renowned elven seamstress
created this wondrous enchanted cloth, some five
hundred years ago. Woven from a multitude of rare
plants, this material imitates the texture, colors,
and patterns of multiple leaves put side by side. The
effect is so realistic that it seems three-dimensional.
In fact, looking at a garment fashioned from leaf
cloth, one has the impression of gazing into the
thick foliage of a tree. Any piece of clothing such
as a vest, tunic, or cloak, worn in full view bestows
a +2 bonus on Hide checks made in any forest,
as long as the trees are full of leaves. This effect is
lost during the winter months, but in coniferous
woods, leaf cloth still provides a +2 bonus on Hide
checks.

MUD RAG: Favored by shamans of the more
savage humanoid tribes, mud rag is an enchanted
material fashioned from muddy earth. While the
fabric appears solid and unwieldy, it is surprisingly
supple and easy to work with. Of a dark brown
coloration, mud rag is extremely spongy and
provides a +1 resistance bonus on saves against
sonic spells and effects. Furthermore, when a piece
of clothing made of mud rag is worn, the garment
provides a +2 bonus on all Move Silently checks.

OWLBEAR COTTON: This material is made
from the tiny feathers that cover the entire body
of an owlbear in a warm coat, over which the long
feathers of the creature protrude. By plucking this
fuzzy undercoat from the magical beast and letting
it soak in potent alchemical solutions, one can turn
this mundane substance into fibrous strands that
can then be woven together to form a unique type
of fabric. Soft and easy to manipulate, owlbear
cotton resembles cotton but is much softer. The
material is also quite strong and easy to wash. In
its pure form, owlbear cotton is pale gray, almost
white, but the fabric can be dyed any color. Because
of the special alchemical solutions used in its
creation, when a vestment of this material is worn,
it protects its owner by absorbing up to 3 points of
cold damage dealt to him each round.

ROCK RAG: One of the more surprising gnomish
fabrics is made from crushed rock that has been
turned into a thick paste through an alchemical
process very few understand. This rock paste then
undergoes a series of simple alchemical treatments
to form fibrous strands that can be woven into a
massive and heavy looking fabric. Of various tints
of grays with hints of blue and purple veins running
through it, rock rag is heavier and sturdier than
most other fabrics, but it can be used to create any
type of clothing. A garment of rock rag provides its
wearer with a +1 bonus on all Fortitude saves.

ROPER CLOTH: Made from the severed strands
of the roper, this special type of material is easy
to make. One simply needs to weave several roper
strands together and apply a thick layer of a specific
alchemical solution to them. Once this process is
7
done, roper cloth is as malleable as cotton and
the pattern formed by the woven strands remains
visible, even when dyes are used on the material.
However, because obtaining roper strands can be a
deadly affair, the fabric is costly and hard to find.
Vestments made from roper cloth are very sturdy,
and roper cloth provides its wearer with a +1 bonus
to Armor Class against touch attacks.

SEA SILK: One of the most intricate fabrics was
created by the sea elves of ancient times. Made by
collecting the outer membranes of various types
of anemones found in the oceans, sea silk must
undergo various complex alchemical treatments
before it can become the wondrous fabric that it
is. Known to only a handful of experts, the secrets
of making this material are closely guarded, which
makes the fabric extremely hard to find. Almost
transparent and unnaturally fine, a garment made
of sea silk does not seem to weight anything, but its
most amazing property is undoubtedly its ability
to absorb up to 3 points of acid damage dealt to its
wearer each round.

made from a very special type of fungi found in
dark, underground caves. When mixed with the

fungus becomes a fibrous substance of a dull black
shade, which can then be woven into a malleable
fabric. A garment of shadow cloth provides a +2

one type of enchanted cloth they fashioned seemed
to be made from pure ocean water held together
by whimsical forces. Water cloth is a thin, semi-

quality. Such fabric has become hard to find
nowadays, but some elven clothiers have learned
the secret of their making. Water cloth grants its

acid and water-based attacks. Furthermore, when
submerged in water, the fabric sticks to its wearer

BASILISK Eye Solution: Made by mixing
the crushed eye of a basilisk and three types of
alchemical solvents, this special dye produces a
wondrous amber coloration when applied to any
type of fabric. Because of the essence of the beast
from which it was created, as well as the various
products made to fashion it, a garment imbued
with basilisk eye solution provides a +2 bonus on
saves against petrification spells and effects.

BLINK DOG SALIVA DYE: While this magical
coloration includes several substances, its primary
ingredient is the saliva from a blink dog. This type
of dye creates a light blue shade that can only be
applied to pale fabrics, but vestments fashioned
with this substance are imbued with strong magical
properties. Once per day, the wearer of clothing
made with blink dog saliva dye can activate either
blink or dimension door (his choice).

CHAMELEON VINE COLORING: The wood
elves are renowned for their knowledge of plants
and herbs, and their herbalists and sages long
ago discovered that the sap of the rare chameleon
vine had tremendous properties. This dark green
substance streaked with tints of reds, browns, and
grays makes a wondrous dye. Material tinted with
this colorant subtly changes color to resemble the
surrounding plants, rocks, and trees. A garment
made with chameleon vine coloring effectively
provides its wearer with a +4 bonus on Hide checks
made in any natural setting.

DIRE FELINE BLOOD DYE: This enchanted
substance is made from the blood of various types
of dire felines. Though always of a red color,
shades vary from dark burgundy to bright scarlet,
depending on the type of animal blood used. When
applied to a vestment, the item seems to subtly
muffle ambient sound, effectively bestowing its
wearer with a +2 bonus on Move Silently checks.

DRAGON BLOOD DYES: There are several
types of dyes made from the blood of fallen dragons.
When mixed with the appropriate alchemical
solutions, dragon blood produce a wondrous dye
that never fades once it is applied to a fabric. Dragon
dye made from chromatic dragons is always of the
same color as the dragon from which it was taken,
but depending on how much the blood is diluted,
one can obtain several different shades of blacks,
blues, greens, reds, or whites. Dragon dye made
from metallic dragons is more impressive, but also
impossible to dissolve, so the coloration is always

KRAKEN DYE: This coloration is simply the
jet-black ink of the kraken mixed with a simple
alchemical formula. When applied to a fabric,
the dye provides a dull, pitch-black coloration.
Clothing made with this dye provides its wearer
with a +2 bonus to Hide check, as long as the
garment remains in full view. It is most frequently
used on cloaks, vests, and coats.

KRENSHAR SKULL COLORANT: The strange
and brutal krenshar has a peculiar head, but what
is truly special about it is undoubtedly the magical
properties it keeps, even when the beast is long
dead. When the skull of such a creature is dissolved
into a special alchemical solution, it produces a
glossy, rosy dye that can be applied to any fabric.
What little remains of the essence of the magical
beast is potent enough to bestow anyone wearing a
garment treated with krenshar skull colorant with
a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks.

to blend into shadow for up to 10 rounds. This
ability, which may be used once every day, gives
the wearer total concealment in any illumination
condition other than full daylight. The effect is
negated by full daylight or a daylight spell.
